Festive Beauty Treats

| Festive Beauty Treats! |

December is already flying by too quickly and it'll be Christmas Day before we know it! But before the big day arrives, I'm gathering lots of festive beauty treats to get me into the festive spirit including some Christmassy red lipstick shades, a dreamy highlighter for a holiday glow and a sparkly rose gold clutch of luxe makeup brushes. It's not Christmas without a red lip for me and I have three favourites that I've been reaching for recently. My top pick is Charlotte Tilbury Screen Siren* which I wrote a full review of recently. It's a non-drying liquid lipstick with a weightless feel and the cool-toned red is a little bit brighter and more vibrant than the next two products. Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella and Kat Von D Hexagram* are my other two Christmas red lipstick options. The Nars offering has been a favourite for years and it's seen me through a few Christmases so I can always rely on its velvety matte formula and ease of application whilst the Kat Von D lippy has a satin finish and the shade isn't as deep as Cruella.If you prefer a lighter lip shade for the festive period then the Charlotte Tilbury Mini Hollywood Liquid Lipstick Charms* is the perfect little gift set. It contains the shades Too Bad I'm Bad, a rosy pink shade, as well as Show Girl, a gorgeous plum hue and they're the same non-drying, velvety liquid lipstick formula.

Another Charlotte Tilbury gift set that I'm loving at the moment is the Magical Mini Brush Set* which is a beautiful sparkly rose gold clutch with four of their best-selling brushes including a blusher brush, an eye blender brush, an eye smudger brush and a lip brush. The brushes are the perfect handbag size for touch-ups and on-the-go application, and the quality of the brushes are incredible. I might have to treat myself to a few more of their brushes next year!For a beaming holiday glow, I'll be reaching for my Hourglass Vanish Flash Highlighting Stick in Champagne Flash. As the name suggests, it's a gorgeous champagne shade with a frost high-sheen finish and it provides a gorgeous glow to the skin!

I've been lusting after the new Charlotte Tilbury Stars In Your Eyes palette since it launched and I decided to treat myself during the Black Friday sale. The palette was sold out in a lot of places but I managed to get it from Brown Thomas during their Black Friday deal where they had a gift with purchase of a free full-size bottle of Scent Of A Dream. So far, I've only had a chance to use the shades from the Power Eyes but I've fallen in love with this look! It's a gorgeous subtle light gold and bronze-toned look and I can't wait to use the rest of the shades in the palette!

The Vintage Vamp eyeshadow quad* is another great Christmas eye makeup option with the vampy purple hues and a gold pop shade. It's perfect for any upcoming festive parties!

What are your festive beauty favourites?

Love,

Cliona xx
